University of Reading, BSc, Double Degree in Politics and International Relations

This four-year programme includes the first two years at MGIMO and the last two at the University of Reading, leading to an award from both institutions. Starting with an International Foundation year at MGIMO, recognised by the University of Reading, you will study in the School of Government and International Affairs during your two years.

This double degree programme is unique, combining both UK and Russian teaching and research perspectives, and providing students with access to both the UK and Russian job markets after graduation.

The MGIMO part of the curriculum includes lectures and seminars in social sciences and humanities, such as history and philosophy, sociology and economics, and political science and international relations. You will also be trained in academic skills and creative writing.

The core parts of the Moscow curriculum are delivered by native English speakers with advanced degrees in politics and linguistics from leading universities across the globe.

In your final two years at the University of Reading, you will complete advanced courses in comparative politics, foreign policy analysis and contemporary global issues.

Throughout your degree, you will also be able to study a foreign language.
